[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my kid is suffering an ectopic pregnancy, she can’t just get on a plane. Our money would not be able to save her.[/quote]

Which state has a law that says ectopic pregnancies won't be appropriately treated?[/quote]

+1. I mean really. They are conjuring up  instances that are not true as a scare tactic. [/quote]

There are some draft bills out there that are trying hard to be all encompassing and avoid abortion pills (moment of fertilization, all cases, limit travel out of state language) that don't have an ectopic pregnancy exclusion, but they aren't any laws.  So it's held up to show how aggressive some of the language is getting about restricting rights. And then some people believe these are actual laws then rather than drafted bills.

But personally the current reality of restricting women's autonomy is scary enough.  I am perfectly scared that the minority of people in this country think they have the right to make decisions about mine and other women's bodies.  No scare tactics needed.  [/quote]

Good, you agree that it’s not being considered to be restricted. [/quote]

It's being considered by those who are writing draft bills of course.  But I know draft bills get edited so it's not reality yet.  That it is even  considered in the bills is exceedingly repugnant and telling about the perspectives of these zealots.   And that it was only in 2011 that Catholic hospitals made protecting the mother policy is startling--doesn't give a lot of confidence that this is an impossibility. Reminds me of why I didn't stay a Catholic after being raised one.

But the reality of what is currently happening is, in my view, problematic enough to hold my attention on stopping it.[/quote]

Do Catholics have a monopoly on hospitals? [/quote]

In some locations, yes.[/quote]

Where?   I'm curious what city/part of the country only has Catholic hospitals.[/quote]

In rural areas in the mid/mountain west about 1/4 of the people have the nearest hospital more than 30 minutes away.  If that hospital is a Catholic one, it is essentially a monopoly.  But my point was more that this is a 2011 medical policy--which to me is alarming about how recent it was that the mother's life wasn't considered as valuable. [/quote]

I can’t get to a hospital within 30 minutes from my house here in the dmv area. [/quote]
